Construction Superintendent's Job Guide by Leo Diamant,Harvey V. Debo Pdf

A no-nonsense guide to supervising and completing construction jobs, written by two men who have 75 years of construction experience between them. This Second Edition addresses the changes in the construction superintendent's responsibilities since the first edition came out in 1979 (most notably the increased reliance on the general contractor's superintendent to maintain schedule requirements and oversee subcontractors' performance). Topics covered run the gamut, from the initial excavation, through all the trades involved in a construction project, to installing the utilities and final furnishings. Contractors (and students) will find this manual indispensable in scheduling and managing the various aspects of construction projects.

Elevating Construction Superintendents by Jason Schroeder Pdf

To be a great superintendent, you need training. Without this, you may become defensive, learn to accept waste and low standards, or even espouse false concepts that will lead to certain failure. However, with proper fundamental training, learning from the best builders throughout history, and effectively using the modern concepts of lean, we can guide superintendents to have the best trained role in construction. Right now in our industry, project managers and project engineers are better trained, better paid, and are becoming leaders of the entire team. The positions of superintendents and project managers should be equal, but to be equal, we need to step up and take our place as the driving force of the project. This book will help you to do that and bring respect back to field positions everywhere. Before writing Elevating Construction Superintendents - The Art of the Builder, I had never found a book available for the art and form of being a superintendent. Yes, there are books about lean; yes, there are books about construction management; and yes, there are books about the skills of a superintendent, but there are none that cover the art of the builder in construction and the back-to-basics fundamental attributes of a true leader in the field. This is the first revision of the book we need and want for our wonderful builders in the field of construction. This book is filled with principles and actionable steps for assistant superintendents. I invite you to learn these, take massive action, and implement each step one-by-one. Please keep driving until everything on your project brings you joy. That is the measure of success. Expect more - Step up - Let's go
